  8. Written up already!

    Obviously white would easier distinguish us from everyone else, but I am not crazy about it. I do think the idea of having all the "levels" of staff wear different colors
  22. I was just looking at the Board of Nursing's website, and NC is not listed as one of the states that you can call/ verify on the web your unofficial results after 2 buisness days. How did you get...
